This is an important question.

I’d love to see the answer, but the link goes to an https://innovationspace.ansys.com/ site.

This site requires a login, so I can’t see the answer.

It appears that I need an Ansys login for this. My Zemax login fails.

Can this answer be posted to a site open to the public?

Or to a Zemax site?

Hi Carey,

Not sure why you can’t view the post because I can without logging in, but the simplest method is to use a TABLE COATING for both the PBS and the reflection off the display.  A table coating allows you to enter either measured or theoretical values for both the transmission and reflection of S & P polarized light.

You also need to set the source’s Stokes vector parameters if you care about the absolute intensity after transmitting through the PBS.

Thanks to Niki and Michael,

Thanks for adding the information here.

2 days ago, I had clicked on the https://innovationspace.ansys.com/ link, and it asked me to login. my Zemax credentials didn’t seem to work.

Today I received an email “Welcome to the Zemax Community!”, and now the link works. So it appears that someone let me in.

I will need some time to try the suggestions.
